I YouTubed Something

After having my account for a couple of years without uploading anything, it finally occurred to me to upload this for everyone's viewing pleasure:

It's got Hugh Laurie as a tag, so it will come up in search results when you search for Hugh's stuff. I was playing around on YouTube last night, downloading some really old adverts Hugh was in when he was a babyfaced twentysomething, I also found that he'd been the guest on a show called God Almighty, which seems to be of a similar format to Room 101, hosted by Clive Anderson and it's about what you would do if you were God. From 2003 apparently but I've never heard of it before.

Hugh Laurie, God Almighty

Apparently in 2003 Clive Anderson hosted a comedic/light entertainment show called "God Almighty", where persons are invitied to discuss how they would change the world if they were God. It was shown on Five, which is why I'd never heard of it until yesterday when I was looking at stuff on YouTube and found that Hugh Laurie had been one of the guests. It appears to be one of those shows which stand or fall on having good guests, so of course Hugh's edition is very entertaining.

Thursday

I had planned to visit Birmingham today, but felt very unenthusiastic about the whole idea this morning, so I went back to bed. The only thing Birmingham has that Coventry doesn't which I could really crave is Hotel Chocolat, which I have on Internet ordering - and they phoned me this evening trying to get me to spend money with them (I said no).

So, I slept in again, and then spent the day online. I've already posted today about my first YouTube uploading; I've also been downloading YouTubery including some 1980s Hugh Laurie adverts and a Stephen Fry interview from 1992 which I have on videotape somewhere. There are lots of incidences of people pinching stuff from Marykir's website to put on YouTube, including stuff that was on the videotape I sent her years ago. I remember one time I even had someone leave me a message (on LJ I think) saying "I just found this, you'll love this" and it was something from the tape.

Discovery is due to land tonight, but they've already waived off the first attempt (there's always a pair of landing opportunities, on consecutive orbits) due to poor weather at KSC. I saw Discovery and then the ISS pass overhead a couple of hours ago; I tried looking for the newly-launched HTV but no luck. I don't know for sure when it can be seen, or indeed if.

Tomorrow I am possibly going in town again. It only takes about 15 minutes to drive into town, as opposed to the 90 minutes average to get to Birmingham by bus & train. Am thinking of getting some yummy food from M&S, they have a much bigger selection in the store in town.
